Honest and meaningful ideas stand up to questioning and discussion.
The War on Terror has prompted elected officials and law enforcement authorities to calm the public by looking into the future and announcing that no credible threat exists.
Newspeople play along by not asking questions.
Highest level LE authorities/US Dept. of Homeland Security and the FBI played no role in preventing the “horrific act of terrorism” in New Orleans.
Now, they are ready to say there is no credible threat at another location.
Zero questions from newspeople at the TV studios. That’s what keeps the fake GWOT rolling along.

No credible threats to New York City in wake of New Orleans deadly ‘terrorist attack’: NYPD
Governor Kathy Hochul said she’s praying for the families and everyone “impacted by last night’s horrific terror attack in New Orleans.” She echoed the NYPD, saying there is “no indication that there are any credible threats to New Yorkers.”
“In addition to going at a fast pace, the suspect was allegedly firing a gun as he mowed people down over the course of approximately three blocks, law enforcement officials briefed on the matter said. He was shot and killed by police when he got out of his vehicle with an assault rifle, the officials said. At least two police officers were shot and wounded, authorities said.”
“By the time the melee had ended, at least 35 people were injured, New Orleans police and city officials said. Most of the victims appeared to be local, officials said.”
“In addition to the viable explosive device discovered at the scene, New Orleans police are searching the French Quarter for other possible devices.”
The FBI, who is taking the lead on the investigation, said they are investigating the incident as an “act of terrorism.”

Bollards question at 32:00 – Why no truck or city vehicles set up to act as barriers?
The answer here gets placed into our Welcome Home Troops/Homeland Security Vote of Confidence category.
Any Marine Corporal would be better able to plan security and answer questions related to that plan than what we hear from a Chief of Police who wears four star general rank at 33:20 here:
This is the kind of stuff that will snuff out the energy American families once had for encouraging young people to enlist in the US Armed Forces.
Welcome Home Troops
Thanks for doing time/risking your ass in Iraq and Afghanistan, working to keep a post 911 USA safe & secure.
Don’t worry-The Super Bowl and public affairs will be safe:
Real Newspeople May Ask:
No Credible Threat? If the good guys can tell what the bad guys will do before they do it-surely, these powerful crime fighting tools will be used to shut down gang and cartel activity, fentanyl trafficking, bank robberies, mass casualty shootings, etc.
What was the threat level prior to the Trump rally shooting?
Where was the threat forecast prior to ballots being destroyed inside the drop box recently in both OR and WA?
Where was the threat forecast prior to the April 12, 2022 NYC subway shooting?
A $51.6 billion (every 12 months) US Dept. of Homeland Security

“…to prevent and respond to all threats and hazards.“

Symbol of politicians who send US troops to get torn up in Iraq and Afghanistan while collecting big bucks to operate a giant US Dept. of Homeland Security that appears to be a waste of time.
Possibly of interest:
The US Dept. of Homeland Security
A $51.6 billion (every 12 months) US Dept. of Homeland Security that creates no shortage of cartel product anywhere in the US. With more than two decades of lessons learned since 911. What got better?
Press releases Re: Airport Security Screening
Would any newsperson ever ask:
What keeps the terrorists of the GWOT from creating a disruption at the back end of the screening line?
Imagine the TV newsperson, on camera, escorting the TSA official all the way to the back of the “be sure to arrive early line” and asking what keeps the bad guys from creating a disruption at that point.
